Three short stories are are long enough to challenge a young reader while not totally overwhelming them.
A Review Of Mik Murdoch
This review is one that I wrote when I first read Mik Murdoch. I have since read it twice more, once to my kids and once just for myself and everything in this review still stands. This is a great book, and I look forward to the future adventures of our boy super hero.
Reason Number 5 that I Love Speculative Fiction
As any great piece of speculative fiction should this one makes you think. While this piece is pretty straight forward at the outset, and might not even seem like Sci/Fi or even Fantasy, it is something much much more.
